Does anyone have a recipe for Kettle Corn? I have found a thousand recipes online but they all call for 3 simple ingredients with white sugar and I know the kettle corn I am thinking of, that I love is not those ingredients. Thanks- Mel
Kim sent in this recipe & what a perfect time for it.
Chewy popcorn balls that won't break your teeth. So Good!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1 bag of marshmallows
1 stick of margarine
6 bags of microwave corn (kettle corn is good - just don't use
"buttered" corn)
Pop the corn and let cool
Cook marshmallows & butter into a syrup (not in microwave)
Use approx 2 bags of corn at a time in large bowl, big enough for mixing
Pour 1/3 of mixture over corn and stir until "really" sticky (may have
to reheat)
"Butter hands" before forming corn into balls
Depending upon the humidity of the day - these may be a complete flop -
never fear, you can always mash it in a cake pan and cut like rice
krispie treats.
I need a good recipe for POPCORN BALLS! We have a church life group this Friday night, and we are letting the kids dress up like heros and bringing some treats for everyone!
1 cup of milk
2 tbsp butter
1 med onion diced
1/2 cup of ham (optional)
8 med potatoes, diced
S & P
Sweat the onions in the butter till translucent. Add & cook potatoes in just enough water to cover them. Cook till they are fork tender. Leave them in the liquid & mash until they are half lumpy, half creamy. Add cooked chopped ham & milk, stir. Let sit for 15 min before serving.
***Great with cornbread. Also, the last time I made it, I had cooked a ham a couple of months before, so I had cut up some of it & put it in the freezer just to use for this soup. So with the holidays coming up, there is sure to be leftover ham. So, freeze some. This is a cheap meal.
I grew up eating this soup & it's one of my all time favorites. I love it with cornbread. Mom, sometimes would clean out the fridge & just throw leftovers in the pot, so I never knew exactly what would be in it. But it was always delicious!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2 lb. ground chuck (beef or round)
1 big can crushed tomatoes
1 bag frozen vegetables w/ tomatoes & okra ( or large can of Veg-all)
6 med potatoes, peeled & diced
S & P
*Add leftover veggies from the fridge.
Brown meat & drain the grease. Add all ingredients & then water to cover it. Cook for 1 hour. Be sure the potatoes are done. Cook on med/low heat to keep from scorching.
**Instead of ground beef you can use stew meat or chicken.
Be creative & add things you like.
9 baking potatoes
2/3 cup butter
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
6 cups whole milk
1/2 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup bacon bits, divided
4 green onions, chopped
10 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese
1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
Prick potatoes with a fork and cook in the microwave, 3 or 4 at a time, and scoop out the flesh (while the others are cooking).
In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in flour and cook about a minute. Whisk in milk, a little at a time, stirring constantly until thickened. Stir in potatoes, salt, pepper, 1/3 cup bacon bits, 2 tablespoons green onions and most of the cheese. Cook until thoroughly heated. Stir in sour cream and heat through. Serve topped with remaining bacon, onions and cheese.
This recipe comes from one of my best friend's mother. I used to go home with her for weekends, and her mom would make these for us at breakfast. I called her mom up recently to ask for this recipe so I could make them for a baby shower. I ended up talking and laughing with her for an hour! So many memories!
1 box Bisquik
1 lb. Tennessee Pride sausage (this is the brand she recommends)
milk
Make sure sausage is at room temp.
Pour bisquik into large bowl.
Add milk until it looks like biscuit dough (will be slightly sticky).
Pour dough onto floured wax paper.
Kneed until dough is stiff or until dough won't stick to roller.
Roll dough out.
Take sausage and place spoonfuls on the dough until you've used all.
Then roll the dough into a large roll.
Put the roll into the freezer until stiff but not neccessarily frozen.
Then slice the roll into 1/2" or less slices.
Bake at 425 until brown on the bottom. That will happen first because the sausage will cook faster than the dough.
Then broil the top to brown them.
Serve them warm with jelly, jam, syrup, or honey. They are delicious!
Once you've sliced the entire roll, you can freeze whatever portion you don't want to cook for up to 3 months!
6 slices bacon
1 onion, chopped
2 potatoes, peeled and cubed
1/2 cup water
2 cups milk
2 (14.75 ounce) cans cream-style corn
1 (15.25 ounce) can whole kernel corn
1/2 teaspoon salt
ground black pepper to taste
Fry bacon in a Dutch oven until crisp; remove bacon, reserving 2 tablespoons drippings. Crumble bacon and set aside.
Saute onion in reserved drippings until tender; add potatoes and water. Cover and simmer 15 to 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
Stir in milk, corn, salt, and pepper to taste; continue to cook, stirring frequently, until heated through. Sprinkle with crumbled bacon to serve.

Thanks Mel, for inspiring this months Featured Recipe.
So, if you have a soup, stew or chowder recipe you would like to share, then just send it along. Even a chili recipe would be good too.
